1.68 ct Brown Garnet-Color Change - Round

At 1.68 carats, this color-change garnet from Tanzania carries its brown color through a round cut, measuring 7.1 x 4.8 mm.

Garnet is a family of distinct species rather than a single gemstone, and each species carries its own color range, sources, and character. Tanzania's gem gravels yield one of the widest spreads of garnet species anywhere, with the saturation East African material is known for. It carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground. That is typical of garnet, one of the few gem families that reaches the market almost entirely untreated.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
